How to Train Your Dragon Birthday Cake

This has to be one of my favorites so far. It was chocolate cake covered in lots of lots of butter cream frosting. I found a picture on the Internet and turned it into a cake with my own twist of doing individual scales to make it more dragon like. Wings and flames are fruit roll ups. Eyes are marshmallows. Nostrils are chocolate chips. Claws are lemon fruit slices. So fun to make.

This is a Golden Vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Covered in MM fondant and gum paste blossoms and butterflies. Also a pearl strand border.



The Smash cake is a single layer vanilla cake covered in butter cream frosting with gum paste butterfly and pink sparkle gel writing and accents.

Marine Wedding and Grooms Cake

So I made these cakes back in December 2008. After cleaning up the site a little, I found I had never put these cakes on.

The colors didn't show up right on my camera for some reason. But the girls colors were bright green, pink and orange. Its a carrot cake with cream cheese filling covered in fondant. It has piped flowers on and a bead border.

This is the grooms cake. I loved how it turned out. They just told me to do a Marine Cake. I molded the emblem out of gum paste. This cake is also a carrot cake with cream cheese filling. All decorations are done in butter cream frosting except the eagle, world and anchor.





Black and Red Rose Winter Wedding Cake with Fountain

I just saw that I didn't post this cake yet. Last December I made a wedding cake for my cute cousin down in St. George. It was tricky traveling with everything but it turned out well. This cake was decorating in the shortest amount of time. I think from start to finish (of just decorating) we were just over three hours!
If this cake looks familiar, its becuase she wanted the cake just like her sisters, that I did a year and a half ago!

Scooby Doo Birthday Party

A few weeks ago I tried my hand at kids Birthday cakes again. My friend had me do two Scooby Doo cakes and matching cupcakes. It was a pretty crazy weeks and this is what turned out:
This was the first cake. I was in a time crunch to get this one done, as you can see. But I had fun. Its a vanilla cake with butter cream frosting. Everything was done with the Wilton star tip.



These are the cupcakes that were served with the cake below. Once again, Vanilla cake with butter cream frosting and Wilton Sparkle Gel for the swirls. The sparkle gel was the kids favorite part. The swirls were done with the 1M tip.





Then this was the final cake. I drew Scooby's head on with a toothpick and then filled it in with starts. The swirls are done in the sparkle gel and the border is also the star tip.

Pixar's Up cake


My oldest wanted an "UP" cake for his birthday. So this is what I came up with. I baked a lemon cake in a 13x9" pan and cut out all the pieces. It's three pieces. The house, the chimeny, and the bay window/gable piece. Then I used a mini muffin pan to bake cupcakes in for the balloons. Everything is decorated in butter cream frosting. A fun cake to make!

Flamingo Wedding

So it's been a while since I have done a cake. My sister was married last June and this is what she wanted. We have a chocolate orange cake with raspberry filling covered with Wilton Fondant. Triage of dots with hot pink ribbon and shell border on each cake. My favorite part is her cake topper - the flamingo's. Very cute, and very Ashley.

Right View
Left View
I did this cake last weekend for my cousin. The bottom three layers were done with rice crispy treats, covered in butter cream frosting and then in marshmallow fondant. The top two layers were chocolate cake with chocolate cream filling and then covered the same as the other layers. I designed the scroll pattern and piped it on with butter cream frosting. I also designed and arranged the flowers myself.

Chocolate Covered Srawberry Basket Cake


This cake had a rough time, but I did learn a lot from it. Hopefully these mistakes will never happen again. This cake was for an all chocolate birthday party. So obviously its chocolate cake, chocolate filling and chocolate buttercream frosting with chocolate dipped strawberries.
